lipgloss

I recently had my first purchase of Charlotte Tilbury products. I was at Nordstrom and noticed a new makeup counter. I have been dying to try some Charlotte Tilbury products so I had to go over and take a look. I started off simple and just got lip and cheek products this time. I am not a blush girl but while I was there the makeup artist working at the counter was dying to put this blush on me and ever since then I have been hooked. I am obsessed with this blush and the color of it. Then I wanted to find a perfect nude lipstick shade, I am so picky trying to find the right nude, and this one is the perfect shade for me. It also is such a great formula and feels so good on the lips. Then I told her that I was a gloss girl and she recommended two glosses for me, I love these glosses so much they are the perfect colors for me. I can not wait to try more Charlotte Tilbury products.

I am OBSESSED with these glosses. I am a gloss girl and I have to say they are my all time favorite. They are so creamy and shiny and stay on forever. I love the colors I picked and I hope to collect them all. 100% would recommend!

I loveeee this product and was so excited when I saw that this collection was coming out. I saw it online and it said it was a high pigment gloss and that is exactly what it is. I have been dying to find a high pigment, thick, glossy gloss. Wouldn’t I love to get this in every color… but I picked this shade I love it, perfect for fall (now sold out but they have many more options). You can see in the pictures below how it is super glossy, so if you are looking for that, this is the lipgloss for you.

This was a crazy month because I was not home much, I went on two vacations back to back. I had so much fun this month and made many memories. Since I was on vacation most of the month and was busy, I don’t have many favorites.

Events

-One Direction Concert

It was the definition of a perfect night.

-LA Vacation

I went on vacation with my friend to Los Angles to visit her boyfriend. We had such a great time, I think both of our favorite thing was shopping on Rodeo Drive. Venice Beach was also was such a cool place and beautiful.

-NC Vacation

I went on a family vacation to North Carolina, my Dad rented a house and it was very nice to have the family together.

I saw one of my favorite makeup artist talk about this lip gloss, so of course I had to try it out. I love this lip gloss especially this shade. It is the perfect nude and has perfect high sheen gloss. I think that this is definitely a product that everyone should have in their makeup collection, and should always be in your purse. Perfect product to throw on your lips really quick, have it look perfect and be good to go.

This product was part of MAC’s Giambattista Valli Collection. The lipsticks in this collection sold out very fast, but that was okay because I was more interested in this product. MAC’s website said that is was a gloss that can transform any lip color to have a pearlescent finish. This is such a unique product and I am very glad that I picked it up.

I love this MAC product! It is very moisturizing and easy to apply. This color that I purchased is very neutral and doesn’t show up much on the lips, I would have gotten a different color if I would have know this. But, my mom has many of these in deeper shades and they are visible on the lips. I recommend this product, just maybe not this shade.

July was surprisingly such a good month for me. First off, I started trying to get a blog post out every weekday. It is hard, but I am loving it so much! The next big thing that has been happening in July is that since I am on summer vacation I came up with a very strict schedule for the day that I have been trying to stay on and I absolutely love it! I might write a blog post on how to come up with a strict schedule that fits your lifestyle. It completely changed my summer. I have quite a lot to talk about because a lot of my favorites of the month are events, so let’t get to it!

This is one of my favorite YouTubers Manny’s collaboration with Gerard Cosmetics. Love love love this!! Not only is it the perfect shade, it applies so easily, dries matte and actually stays on your lips for a long time.

Another one of my favorite YouTubers Jaclyn Hill collaborated with Becca and created Champaign Pop. I am obsessed with this hilighter, I have not used anything else since. I wrote a blog post about it here!

About a month ago there was a Sephora 500 point gift from Laura Mercier. I love this brand, between Laura Mercier and MAC it is basically all I use. The box had five items in it and I only had used two out of the five products before, the tinted moisture and the lip gloss. So, I got to try out three new products that I will absolutely be repurchasing.

1. Flawless Skin Face Polish

This is my favorite out of the five, I love skin care products. It cleanses and exfoliates your skin, I love the way it feels, like you are really getting a good clean base for your face. I am absolutely going to purchase this in the full size.

2. Foundation Primer – Radiance Bronze

This is perfect for the summer. It comes out of the bottle very dark but once you work in a small amount on your face it leaves your face with a bronzed glow.

3. Tinted Moisturizer – Nude

I already had this product and my normal shade is Porcelain, but since it is summer and I am tan, the Nude matches my skin tone right now.

4. Matte Radiance Baked Powder – Bronze – 03

I really like this powder because it leaves a radiant finish. This is a very dark shade for me so I use a small amount as a contour.

5. Lip Glace – Nectar

I had a Lip Glace before and I loved it because of the smell, and this has the same smell. Also, I am in love with this color for the summer. I plan to purchase this shade in the full size as well.
